Where do I file the 1099-NEC

Federal > Wages and Income > Self-Employment

Form 1099-NEC reports Non-Employee Compensation, or self-employment income. 

 

Schedule C is used to report income and expenses from self-employment.  You are considered self-employed if you have received a Form 1099-NEC from a company for which you provide services, but you are not their employee.

 

If this is the case, then get started with Schedule C by describing the type of business you have based on the type of services you provide.  TurboTax will guide you through the process by asking you questions one step at a time.  

 

Use these steps to go to the Schedule C section of your return:

• On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
• This opens a box where you can type in “schedule c” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
• The search results will give you an option to “Jump to schedule c”
• Click on the blue “Jump to schedule c” link

Once your Schedule C is set up, use the Add Income option to enter the details from your Form 1099-NEC.
